^refTl* lust P,ay'nR tlie Pelty llttle R«me of pol-,• nrnwn said. “Politics is a trap that you can’t escape
because you become ego-lnvolved ln Its ridiculous compll- i
cations."
Brown said that he will not vote for Taylor for student body president. He said that he will not vote ln the elections at all.
I won't vote because I don't want to become Involved with something valueless,” he explained. “Most of the graduate students agree with me.”
MSO Scnator-at-large Bob Croutch said that "I don't resent Oreg's action in Joining TRG. His actions are determined by his political ideals. If Taylor Is elected It will j be the first time ln several years that we have had a non-politician for a president. There's even the chance that he could lift student government from Its present depravity."
Independent Women's Representative Lauretta Misraje said that Taylor "didn’t sell out the independents." She !
says that It was "his prerogative to Join a political party if he wanted to," and added that "I am supporting him without reservations.”
"Greg has a better chance of winning with TRG support," Miss Mtsraje said. "Of course I would have preferred him to have run Independently because it would have been a greater achievement for the independents— but he probably wouldn’t have won that way."
Murray Bring, candidate for student body president under MSG last year, Is also supporting Taylor. He said that Taylor’s action "was not a sell out, but rather a practical maneuver."
"Political parties don't represent principles any more; their only purpose Is to get people elected," Bring said. "Membership In a party Is based on accident rather than belief.”
Bring said that since political organizations don’t
stand for anything, there is nothing wrong in an independent Joining a Row party.
"As long as Taylor thinks Independently and acts independently, and as long as TRG permits him to do so. I can see nothing wrong tn his Joining TRG," Bring said.
A member of both MSG and its predecessor Unity, Marguerite Cooper believes that Taylor's action Is "not Important."
"My question Is not whether Greg Is an Independent, but whether he Is capable of directing other leaders on campus," Miss Cooper said. "I don’t think he is. He Is an example of the excellence of mediocrity.”
Miss Cooper labeled Taylor a “puppet, propped up by Joe Cerrell." She declared that election of Taylor would perpetuate the “TRG monopoly."

animosity of several student groups.
ASSC President Jerry McMahon and Senior Class President Steve Robertson both have severely criticized the ruling. The ASSC Senate Wednesday night agreed unanimously to disagree with the ruling.
Campus Groups Criticize Mortar Board, senior women's honorary scholastic organization and the '56 club, a junior alumni association, also have sent letters of criticism to the administration and the committee.
A leader of the NROTC group which drafted the resolution opiticiaing the committee said the midshipmen are particularly worried over the ruling because they may have to make transportation arrangements to overseas bases and purchase uni forms and equipment during the week that the finals have been scheduled to take place.
Need Extra Time Since the midshipmen will be sent to bases and installations immediately after graduation, they had planned to use the two-week period between finals and graduation to spend time with their families, pack and crate clothes and furniture for over seas shipment, and in some cases, even get married.
Jack Leth, one of the midshipmen, had planned to get married graduation day, June 9.
“I had planned to use the two weeks preceding graduation for final arrangements. But if faced with studying for engineering finals during ihat time, it may be impossible for me to complete the semester with good grades.”
Doug Potter, another midship man scheduled to graduate this semester, also is planning marry in June. He n faced with the same problem, since he will get his travel orders a few days just prior to graduation, and must already have his furniture and belongings packed.
Larry Carroll is also planning to marry. His wedding date is set for one week after graduation and he had planned to use the extra two-week period for arrangements, packing, and uni form fitting.
"This decision will foul me up completely,” he said yesterday

Scheherezade Being Sought By SC Arabs
They’ve got dancing girls, they’ve got music and Ken Shanks, they’ve got a magic carpet trip to Arabia past and present. The only thing missing from this recipe for the Arabian Nights, May 5, is the most vital ingredient of all, Queen Scheherezade.
Members of the Arab Student Association are now carrying on a campaign to select the campus coed who most closely typifies this legendary heroine of the thousand-and-one nights in beauty, personality, and charm.
Trophy For Queen “We would like to emphasize that this contest is open to all women, both Row and independent,” explained Abdul Jallow, publicity director of the show.
Applications for prospective Scheherezades will be available in the Foreign Student Adviser’s office, 322 SU, until Apr. 27, when the contest will end.
The Queen and two princesses will be selected to reign over the Arabian Nights, to be held at the Ambassador Hotel. A trophy will be awarded to the Queen, while the two attendants will receive Arabian gifts.
Two Bands The dancing girls. Ken Shanks, and music will entertain the royal court and their guests, as both Arab students and professional entertainers take the stage for a short program. Two bands, an Arab group and the reguar Ambassador orchestra, will provide music for dancing throughout the rest of the evening. ___
Author Plans Campus Talk
★ Senior Exam Problem
It is regrettable that the administration had to wait so late to Inform seniors they would no longer be able to take early final exams during Slop Week.
Many seniors, who have arranged to start work, travel, or get married Immediately after Stop Week, will have to change their plans if the directive of the faculty’s Committee on Student Scholarship Standards is effected.
We do not question the right of the faculty and administration to make policy regarding senior exams. We do feel, however, that seniors should not have been allowed to believe, until the last six weeks of school, that they would have the same privileges as graduates of 1954 and 1955 had.
And although it is not an administrative practice to consult students on such matters, we do not believe that the decision should have been made without even attempting to get the opinions of senior leaders.
The standards committee justifiably feit that standards had been lowered by giving early finals and by the practice of many teachers of giving seniors with A or B averages in the class the option of taking an exam.
It felt, as some members said, that standards had been lowered, not so much because the top seniors scholastically were exempted from some finals, but because certain teachers were allowing Iowerclassmen either to skip
finals or take early ones with the seniors.
We believe the lack of uniformity problem could have been solved by Instructing teachers that Iowerclassmen cannot be excused from two- hour finals during the regular exam period, not by curbing a privilege seniors have been getting for the last two years.
The new directive not only hurts those who have made plans for the week atter classes end, but It also hurts those seniors who have worked hard all semester to maintain an A average in hopes of being exempted from their finals.
It is significant that such a respected scholastic and leadership women’s honorary as Mortar Board and such an Influential group as the ’56 Club have protested the committee's decision.
It is also important that the ASSC Senate unanimously approved a resolution to set up an eight-member committee to meet with the standards committee and try to work out a compromise.
We hope the meeting at 2:15 Monday afternoon will show that the administration Is taking seniors' problems Into consideration as well as trying to maintain academic standards.
We hope the faculty and administration will allow this year's senior class to retain the privilege it expected since the new decision was announced so late and that a plan of uniformity in giving finals will be effected next year.
GroupAdvocates
Childrens' Party,
Student Pay Hike
The executive committee and general assembly of TRG has voted unanimously to adopt the ’56 campaign platform drawn up by its platform committee.
“The platform was formulated,” said TRG Chairman Joe Cerrell, "with the Idea in mind of making Its points as specific as possible. All TRG
LATE SENATE NEWS
Social Committee Requests Right to Punish Offenders
candidates are pledged to support this platform."
First Plajik
First point in the platform is making the underprivileged children’s Christmas Party an annual affair. In doing so, TRG feels SC can acquire favorable publicity as well as benefitting the children.
Second, TRG hopes to reinstate the program of early finals for graduating seniors in order to prevent seniors being barred from graduation due to possible failure of even one class.
Rais* Salaries
Third plank in the new platform is to take immediate steps to try to elevate student pay scales on campus. According to Cerrell, "There is presently a wide discrepancy in student pay rates."
Initisting foreign student participation in the orientation program is another aim of the platform. TRG feels the foreign students at SC have been overlooked In many programs in the past, and that something should be done to remedy this situation.
Parking Plan
Tire parking problem Is also covered in the platform. TRG iiopes to promote efficient use of on-street parking facilities through the painting of parking space divisions on streets in the
vicinity of the campus.
TRG hopes to provide for an independent students coordinator to perform in a capacity similar to that of the IFC coordinator.
Another point Is the organization of an SC student assembly program for the purpose of visiting local high schools and junior colleges to put on student shows.
ARG also plans to establish an inter-dormitory council and give its chairman a non-voting seat on the ASSC senate.
One of the platform's last planks is an improved interview procedure to increase empley-nient opportunities for students.
A power-laden ASSC Social Committee may be the result of a by-law amendment proposed at Wednesday night's Senate meeting.
ASSC Vice President Betty Metzger said that such a powerful group, if given the green light by a two-thirds vote of the Senate at its next (May 2) meeting, will be able to take direct action against "the Row houses that have broken rules laid down to them by the university."
In contrast with the present Social Committee's by-law description, the new group would have the power . . . "to enforce the procedure and policies which they set forth."
Complete Representation Another innovation in Miss Metzger's proposed Social Committee would be to have not only fraternities and sororities
represented, but also the Independent Men's and Women's Councils, the Foreign Student's Council, and the men’s and women's dormitories seated on the group.
In other late Senate action, ASSC Public Relations Chairman Barbara Irvine was unanimously ok’ed to run (or the School of Education presidency.
"There is no doubt that she is eligible," according to Sid Owso-witz, elections commissioner.
Clan* Conflict
The question as to Miss Irvine's eligibility arose when her past membership on the Education Council—a prerequisite for the office she’s running for was in doubt. However, this was cleared up when the education president candidate produced evidence that she had been on the group this semester, but was unable to attend meetings he-

Another point of interest during Wednesday night's meeting was the reinstatement of Foreign Students Representative Abdul Jallow to his seat on the Senate.
Most observers attributed Jal-low’s quick recovery of favor-dom to a desire for foreign stu dent votes by campus political organizations.

Jallow had been removed because, it was charged, he was carrying only six units—two under constitutional requirements or Senate seats.

Ry The Watrhhird
ASSC Vice Presidential Candidate Mary Laird yesterday came out with a concrete four-point program and at the same time added a fifth point, which she termed the most important of all, in the form of “a willingness to serve backed by experience in student government."
Miss Laird, TRG-supported, said she would like to see the initiation of better student-faculty relations through a Senate-sponsored faculty assembly, informal faculty-student get-togethers within the separate schools, and an increased number of faculty talks to living groups. She also suggested personality sketches of faculty members in the Dally Trojan as a way of breaking down barriers between them and the students.
Miss Laird stressed the importance of helping foreign students fit better into American life by going to the students to explain our culture. She suggested talks in special English classes and international organiz itloni on athletics, dating, and SC history. She also suggested that groups living on campus sponsor inter-
Miss Laird pointed out that SC could better its relations with high schools and junior colleges in the area by having variety acts available for assemblies at high schools requesting them. Prepared addresses by student leaders and the forum commit-
tee, plus the expansion of tess, st which the vice president serves as hostess, would give potential future students a better impression of SC, she feels.
With the issuing of the new student handbook next year. Miss Laird said that a concentrated eflort should be made to explain new social rules to Trojan living group«. A printed review in the DT, plus talks before the groups it affects, would show the students how the program helps them, and would combat any resentment that might otherwise form, she feels.
Summing up what she hopes to achieve, she pointed out that "any program still needs someone to back it up, someone with a good knowledge and foundation in student government.
'This is the criterion for any platform,” she said. "With my experience in student government, I feel entirely qualified to put this into effect."
Miss Laird, currently a senator-at-large and a member of several Senate committees, has served as chairman of High School Woman's Day, and the High School and Junior College I Relations Committee, as well as chairman of a Homecoming and a Trojan Chest committee.
Active in student government since her freshman year, she has been on the Senate for two jeais, on the freshman and sophomore class councils, and the Psnheiiemc Council.

"My question Is not whether Greg Is an Independent, but whether he Is capable of directing other leaders on campus," Miss Cooper said. "I don’t think he is. He Is an example of the excellence of mediocrity.”
Miss Cooper labeled Taylor a “puppet, propped up by Joe Cerrell." She declared that election of Taylor would perpetuate the “TRG monopoly."
